What are the other risk management conditions in HyroTrader?

Traders are required to adhere to the following Risk Management Rules to safeguard our capital and support the success of our traders. We actively monitor each account for signs of gambling or reckless trading behavior, with a specific focus on the following situations:

 

Maximum Risk Per Trade: Traders must not risk more than 3% of their initial account balance per position, ensuring that a triggered stop loss does not exceed this limit. Thus, if your stop loss is set higher than 3% of your initial account balance, you have breached the maximum risk per trade rule. This limit is crucial for effective risk management and capital protection. Please note that commissions are included in the maximum risk per trade calculation and can be viewed in your final trade P&L in Bybit’s P&L history.

Note: The trader can use more than 3% of their capital in a single position as long as the risk/set stop loss (realized or unrealized loss) does not exceed 3% of the account balance.

 

Martingale Strategy: The use of the Martingale strategy is strictly prohibited. Martingale is a high-risk betting system that involves doubling the stake after each losing trade. This strategy can lead to substantial losses and goes against responsible trading practices.

 

Prohibition of Hedging Across Different Accounts: Traders are prohibited from hedging positions across two or more different accounts simultaneously. Hedging involves opening opposite positions with the intent to offset potential losses, which can result in decreased transparency and increased risk.

 

Profit Distribution Rule: No single trade should contribute more than 40% to the total profit generated by a trader. This rule aims to prevent excessive reliance on a single high-risk trade and encourages a diversified and responsible trading approach. This rule is valid during the evaluation (phase 1 and phase 2) only.

 

Stop Loss Obligation:

    • A stop-loss is required for every position to control potential losses.
    • Maximum risk per position is limited to 3% of the initial account balance.
    • Traders have 5 minutes from entering a trade to set a stop-loss.

This rule is monitored live, and if a stop-loss is not set at all, we offer each trader a one-time opportunity to correct it. When a stop-loss isn’t set, we send an email alert, giving you an extra hour to adjust it. This “soft breach” provides some flexibility, but it is available only once per account. If the stop-loss isn’t updated within the hour, the account will unfortunately be marked as failed due to this violation.

If the same mistake happens again, no further email alert will be sent, and the account will be failed immediately.

Additionally, please be aware of the following:

  • potential loss that exceeds the maximum risk per trade is not considered a soft breach. If a stop-loss is set with more than 3% risk relative to the initial balance, this will result in immediate failure of the account.
  • To ensure the stop-loss is correctly recorded, it must be set using Bybit’s ‘TP/SL’ function, either as a Stop Loss or a Trailing Stop Loss. Conditional order triggers and limit close orders are not accepted as valid stop-loss orders. If the stop-loss is not set in this way, it will not be recognized or recorded as valid, which will result in a violation.
  • If you cancel your stop loss without adjusting the position (such as partially closing or adding to it), the system will not grant you an additional 5 minutes. Therefore, it’s always better to adjust your stop loss rather than cancel it.

 

Accounts are subject to regular manual reviews, during which we assess for signs of gambling or an “all-or-nothing” mentality. In cases of extremely high risk, we retain the right to implement any of the following actions:

  • Issuing a warning
  • Removing account profits
  • Adjusting the payout
  • Temporarily reducing profit splits
  • Rejecting withdrawal requests
  • Terminating the account in full.
